It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the pochette bags from Animal Crossing New Horizons. The pochette bags are some of the most common bags to see in the fandom. They're cute, and there's a large variety of them. Fans have even created real life versions of them, as well. In the game, they can be purchased, or made with DIY recipes. There are some you can get from Kicks, there are seasonal ones, there's one you can get from the fishing tourney, and you can even get a recipe for one from Celeste. Because of this, it's no wonder why they became so popular within the fandom. They're pretty simple in design, so they're easy for fans to recreate. They're also rather cute, which makes them even more popular. Since there's so many, it's also fun to collect them. There are about thirteen pochette bags in total, so it would take a while to collect all of them; especially since most of them can only be gotten through seasonal DIY recipes. As always, I will be including a picture of the Maple Leaf Pochette below as an example. Enjoy!

Who is Headmage Crowley in Twisted Wonderland? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Dire Crowley is one of the most mysterious characters in Twisted Wonderland. However, it is known that he at least isn't human. Multiple characters have commented on his age, and a few of them have asked how old he is. Along with this, he has pointed ears, which has been shown to be a fae trait. Because of this, he's likely a fae as well. It's been implied and theorized that he has connections to the Diasomnia boys, but this is yet to be confirmed. It's at least pretty clear that he's a fae, but I don't think that necessarily means he's related to the other fae we know of. Dire Crowley is a very interesting character, and I really hope they expand upon his story and character sometime in the future. As always, here are two pictures of Headmage Crowley so you all can see his ears. Enjoy!

What are the triangle headbands that ghosts wear in anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Anime fans may have noticed that ghosts often wear a strange headband with a single triangle on it. Why is this, and what is the purpose of this headband? Well, the headband itself is used to show that a character is a ghost. This is an easy way to show fans that the character isn't human, without having to change the design of the character too much. These corpse headbands are an easily recognizable symbol, so they're common in anime even now. Traditionally, the headbands were a part of how the dead were dressed. Because of this, the headbands have become associated with death, and subsequently ghosts. I wanted to talk about this because it's still a common question in the anime fandom even now, and the answer is actually pretty interesting. As always, here's a picture of Fuyumi Yanagi from Blood Lad wearing a ghost headband as an example. Enjoy!

It's the middle of November. That means winter is quickly approaching. Which also means, the leaves are falling in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Although this is partially just a cute little addition to the island, you can also catch some of the leaves. Every so often, you can find a single maple leaf floating around in place on your island. Just walk up to it and catch it with your net to get one maple leaf. After this, you can use the leaves for different autumn DIY recipes. The leaves spawn relatively often, and they're very easy to catch. So make sure to catch a lot of leaves! There isn't much else to say about this, but I thought it was a cute way to collect leaves for the recipes. As always, I will be including a picture of the collectable maple leaf below so you all can see what it looks like. Enjoy!

1.) Imp Hood


2.) Mage's Striped Hat

It's time to post! Since the weather is getting colder, I decided to talk about the Japanese Haramaki. A haramaki, or belly band, is a type of clothing that goes over your stomach. It was created to keep your core warm, since that's believed to help keep the rest of your body warm and healthy. They're usually used in late fall and throughout winter, as well. Although I've seen some people say the haramaki is worn under clothes, I've often seen it worn over clothes; so I suppose it just depends on personal preference. I think these little bands are pretty cute and useful, especially since they come in many colors and patterns now. As an example, here's a picture of Zoro from One Piece wearing a haramaki. Enjoy!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about a few things from Twisted Wonderland. I often talk about the fact that Twisted Wonderland focuses almost exclusively on the original Disney films. So today, I wanted to mention two things that were included that are from other related Disney projects instead of just the originals. The first thing, is Malleus' heritage. In the original Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent was never stated to be a fae. This wasn't included until the live action Maleficent movies. Despite this, I think it was a good decision to go with this route, even if Malleus is a different type of fae. Secondly, it was confirmed that Leona is the head of the current Lion Guard. The Lion Guard wasn't added until the show of the same name. Although it doesn't change Leona's character very much, I still think it was a good idea to add this detail. It's a small thing, but I like how it adds to Leona's culture and character. These are the only things I wanted to talk about today, but I still wanted to talk about them because I think they're pretty neat details. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!
